Crop shading system
The key advantages of the system
Solution adapted to all major crops
Compatible with agricultural machinery up to 15 meters high
Minimal footprint, optimizing cultivated areas
Smart technology-based solar panels meet the agro-climatic needs of crops and the needs of farmers
Active control panels generating partial and rotating shade that protects crops against climatic hazards (drought, high temperatures, excess light, frost, hail)
Guarantees long-term income for farm owners and farmers
Smart technology which adapts to crops
- Automatic adjustment of panels to adapt to the type of crop and stage of growth
- Automatic maximum inclination of panels in heavy rain to provide even water flow and limit soil erosion
- Optimized positioning of panels to facilitate farming operations
- Positioning of panels according to agro-climatic needs of crops
The agronomic benefits of partial and rotating shade
A built-in irrigation system
To meet the major challenge of managing water resources in agriculture, we have developed a unique intelligent irrigation system, built into our crop shade, which allows farmers to manage water more efficiently.
Farmers can use our remote, wireless control system, using probes and sensors to control a large number of parameters, optimizing the irrigation of their plots by watering only when necessary, and at the best time. Our system can save water use and cost by up to 30%.

We prefer piled foundations to support our solar panel arrays. Metal stakes are driven directly into the ground tounder the panels in case of climatic hazards.
Crop shades are suitable for crops under 1m60 in height.
Our panels automatically tilt to a maximum angle in heavy rain to allow crops to benefit from the water. This feature provides a homogeneous flow of water on the plot and limits soil erosion.
TSE and the farmer commit to taking out and maintaining damage insurance of their choice including a reciprocal waiver of recourse clause. In concrete terms, if the farmer damages the structure during operations, TSE's insurance will cover the repairs.
We plan preventive maintenance operations between two crops, in consultation with the farmer. If part of the crop is impacted by a necessary intervention during cultivation, then we will compensate the farmer accordingly.
TSE takes care of maintaining the areas under the panels and around the posts.
